I-64 westbound,
with the eastbound flyover construction visible in the left side of the photo.
Notice the Mechanically
Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls constructed on the earthen
fill approach to the flyover bridge.

Notice the concrete barricade that has
been placed along the edge of the roadway, in order to separate the construction
area from the highway traffic. The concrete barricade has the
New Jersey Barrier
shape, and is temporarily placed in linked segments, and the VDOT term for that particular contract
pay item is Concrete Traffic Barrier Service.

I-64
westbound, about one mile west of the VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road overpass, a third
lane is being constructed on the right.

I-64 westbound, one half mile east of the VA-288 interchange, a third lane
is being constructed on the right.

I-64
eastbound, about 1/2 mile west of the VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road overpass,
a third lane is being constructed on the right.

This and the next 5 photos are in the same driving sequence.

I-64
eastbound, approaching I-295, two new lanes are being constructed on the right,
for the approach roadway to the eastbound flyover ramp to I-295. The
bridge overhead is the under construction new
VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road overpass.

I-64
eastbound, approaching I-295, two new lanes are being constructed on the right,
for the approach roadway to the eastbound flyover ramp to I-295. Notice the
Mechanically Stabilized
Earth (MSE) retaining walls constructed on the earthen fill approach
to the flyover bridge.

I-64
eastbound, approaching I-295, two new lanes are being constructed on the right,
for the elevated approach roadway to the eastbound flyover ramp to I-295.
Notice the Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls constructed
on the earthen fill approach to the flyover bridge, and notice the
flyover bridge piers that have been constructed, and the I-295 overpasses in the distance.

I-64 eastbound, approaching I-295. Notice the flyover bridge piers that
have been constructed, and the I-295 overpasses in the distance.

I-64 eastbound, approaching I-295. Notice the flyover bridge piers that
have been constructed, and the I-295 overpasses in the distance.

The
I-64 eastbound roadway is visible to the left, and the nearly complete
construction of the piers for the flyover bridge, and the completed
construction of the Mechanically
Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining
walls on the earthen fill approach to the flyover bridge. Vantage point is
from the I-295 overpass, looking westward.

The I-64 eastbound roadway is visible to the
left, and the nearly complete construction of the piers for the flyover
bridge, and the completed construction of the Mechanically Stabilized
Earth (MSE) retaining walls on the earthen fill approach to the flyover
bridge. Vantage point is from the I-295 overpass, looking westward.

In the distance is
the VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road overpass, and
the construction of the new Pouncey Tract Road overpass.

The I-64 eastbound roadway is in the center,
and the nearly complete construction of the piers for the flyover bridge. Vantage point is from the I-295 overpass,
looking westward.

The
ramp from westbound I-295 to westbound I-64
(toward Charlottesville). This one-lane ramp is being widened to two
lanes, and is being relocated in two places to provide a higher-speed
alignment. The ramp is being rebuilt to a higher-speed 2-lane ramp,
and will be adequately drivable at 60 mph (the design speed is a bit
higher than that).
A sound barrier is being constructed on the right, adjacent to a
subdivision.

The ramp from westbound I-295 to westbound I-64
(toward Charlottesville). This one-lane ramp is being widened to two
lanes, and is being relocated in two places to provide a higher-speed
alignment, and the graded area ahead is one of the places where a ramp curve
will be lessened. The ramp merges into I-64 ahead. A sound barrier is being constructed on the right,
adjacent to a subdivision.

I-64 looking
westward from over the I-64 westbound roadway, from the VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road
overpass. A new lane is being constructed on the right, to widen westbound
I-64 to 3 lanes between I-295 and VA-288.

I-64 looking
westward from over the I-64 eastbound roadway, from the VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road
overpass. Two new lanes are being constructed on the left, for the approach
roadway to the eastbound flyover ramp to I-295.
A new lane is being constructed, to widen eastbound I-64 to 3 lanes
between VA-288 and I-295.
The inner lane of I-64 eastbound
is temporarily closed for the construction of the bridge piers for the replacement
4-lane Pouncey Tract Road overpass.

New VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road overpass nearing completion for the
northbound 2-lane portion of the bridge.

The westbound roadway for I-64
(toward Charlottesville) is visible, with the widening under construction
to add a third lane on the outside. The road in the lower part of the
photo, is a service road alongside I-64.
